Hey, welcome to the Films WikiProject! We're a group of editors working to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of films and film characters. If you haven't already, please add {{User WikiProject Films}} to your user page.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Most of our important discussions about the project itself and its related articles take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.

• The project has a monthly newsletter. The newsletter for September has been published. October's issue is currently in production; it will be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.

There is a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

• Want to jump right into editing? The style guidelines show things you should include.
• Want to assist in some current backlogs within the project? Visit the Film Tasks template to see how you can help.
• Want to know how good our articles are? Our assessment department has rated the quality of every film article in Misplaced Pages. Check it out!
• Want to collaborate on articles? The Cinema Collaboration of the Week picks an article every week to work on together.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around!

thank you

Thank you Wildhartlivie and Pinkadelica so much for all the effort you've put into this article today. I'm sorry it's turned out to be such a hornet's nest, but I appreciate that you've both taken action. I am completely sure that this is the same serial-vandal that has been doing this nonsense for over a year. this edit repeats my edit summary verbatim but without context - an old trick, and several edits including this one contain the same mangled English as previous edits, plus there is a complete inability to distinguish between POV and cited opinion (also nothing new). I'm so sure it's the same editor. Thanks again. You two are the best, and I look forward to speaking to you in a few weeks. (Wildhartlivie, I can't believe he threatened to have you blocked....)

Well, we are going to "click here for instant jealousy", and we'll be staying here, but in an actual building of course, then "click here to really make your head spin", then to "the most beautiful stetch of coastline in Australia" and then one week in the low apartment block on the left side of the picture just above the tree line. Not bad huh? The last place is not far from where I live and we're going here, which is also nearby but unfortunately we won't be seeing Harriet. We met her a few years ago, and she was very beautiful, but she has departed these shores since then, along with her owner.

Yes, it looks like it was an eventful day, and I think you handled it brilliantly and with restraint. Sometimes civility is overrated, but I really don't see anything uncivil (incivil?) in any of your comments. The "new" editor is nothing new, but the first time it happened, it was just me against a gaggle of sockpuppets, so at least now there are two of you. Tag teaming is naughty. But working together for the good of the project is a very worthy thing. I've often wondered about Claudette Colbert. What is it about her that makes a new user think "hmmm I'm going to sign up with Misplaced Pages and the first thing I do is completely rewrite the Claudette Colbert article". The weird thing is that about 10 new users have had exactly the same idea. What are the odds? Take care, and thanks again. Rossrs (talk) 08:18, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
